WHIN PAR
President Tatt Writes Letter For
Use In The Fall Campaign
Contributes To Text Book-Document Virtually Takes The
Place Of A Party Platform In The Congressional
Campaign-Only Guarded .Reference Made To Any
Factional Strife-Large Part Of The Letter A Review
Of The Work Of The Recent Session
Now York, Aug. 29. President Tatt
has written for use In the Republican
congressional campaign text-book a
letter In which he urges all Republi
cans to forget their differences after
the nominations of their party have
been made and to unite In trying to
eleot Republican nominees, and thus
insure the further carrying out of
platform promises.
The letter, addressed to Chairman
"William B. McKtnley of tho Repub
lican campaign committee, was mado
public. It virtually takes the place
of a party platform In the campaign
for congress this fall, nnd It Is evi
dent the president Intended it for
uoh.
Only a brief and guarded reference
la mode to any factional strife with
in the party, and that In tho very be
ginning of the letter. Assuming that
tho party candidates will have al
ready beon selected by the time his
letter Is published, which, however,
1b not tho case, tho question wHl be,
says Mr. Taft, "not what complexion
of Republicanism ono prefers, but
whether It is better for the country
to have tho Republican party control
the legislation for tho next twp years
nnd further redeem Its promises, or
to enablo a Democratic majority in
the house cither to Interpose a veto
to Republican measures or to formu
'late and pass bills to carry out Dem
ooratlo principles."
A large part of tho lettor Is a sum
mary of the legislation of the last
session as evidence of desire of tho
Republican party to fulfill Its prom
ises. Among the measures yet to bo
enacted and for which he asks tho
return of a Republican majority Mr.
Taft places tho measure to curb tho
injunction power. He declares that
tho Democratic substltuto "would
create a privileged class of lawless
workmen nnd would seriously impair
tho power of tho courts of oqulty to
do Justice."
As to the tariff, the president says:
"It seems to mo that all Republi
cansconservative, progressive and
radical may well abide the situation
with respect to the tariff until evi
dence" now being accumulated shall
Justify changes in tho rates." Mr.

gress of Individual schedules, after

ter, nnd that in reference to conser
vation. To Mr. Roosevelt Mr. Tnft
gives tho credit for arousing public
Interest in this subject.
Tho regulation of stocks nnd bonds
of railroads, a ship 'subsidy measure
and a national board of health arc
among other promises which remain
to be kept, the president assorts.

is now the leader of the "Fellowship" cult which Mrs. Boynton tins embraced.
Benjamin Fay weighed eleven and a quarter pounds at birth, Is perfectly de
veloped and eminently satlstled with his out of door world, ne has not emit--ted
a cry since respiration began save to "croon a little song," ns his mother
says. No darkened room is insisted upon to protect his eyew; instead ho stares
and blinks at the sunlight which filters through his leafy abode ns if his eyes
were those of n child of six years. And all tho whllo he croons his lullnby,
"as if he had caught an echo of the music of the spheres," supplements his
mother. Mi s. Boynton has for many years been nn ardent exponent of dress
reform, of living out of doors and of subsisting upon n purely vegetarian

nies are equally or more excessive."

Harmon emphatically scouted the
story emanating from Akron stating
that tho governor had branded Mayor
Marshall an imbecile and Columbus
people as cowards. The story was
freely commented upon. Mayor Mar
shall stated that he could hardly be
lieve that the governor made such a
statement, but he Is responsible for
every act during the strike and Is
able to account for himself. The
governor states that he never once
alluded to the strike In his address
at Akron, further than to say that he
was glad that he did not have to call
the troops out to put down trouble
among the farmers." It was a farm
ers' picnic at which he delivered his
address. '
